Like many workers in the current economy, I am currently between jobs after years of continuous employment, and I am seeking temporary employment as an office worker while I continue my search. I can type 70 WPM and have excellent spelling and grammar, am familiar with a wide range of data entry tasks as well as standard word processing, I can file and duplicate, answer phones and reply to emails, and I multitask well.
I am a self-starter with a solid record of dependably showing up on time, rarely being absent, and working energetically on whatever tasks require attention.
Unless you are set up so as to be able to make use of a remote worker who telecommutes, my availability is limited to Long Island, Queens, and Manhattan.
